Darin and I were at dinner tonight:
DIANE
Did you watch the Hitchhiker's trailer?
DARIN
It looks great. I don't know why you
said you needed to plan your life around
April 29, though. It says May 6.
DIANE
It said April 29.
DARIN
No, it didn't. Who's in it?
DIANE
Mos Def plays Ford Prefect. I don't
know who plays the other roles though.
Like the rock star. What's his name?
DARIN
Hotblack Desiato. Something like that.
But he doesn't show up until Book 2.
DIANE
Oh. Well, they're at some rock concert
in the trailer.
DARIN
No, they're not.
DIANE
Yes, they are.
Beat.
DARIN
Where did you see the trailer?
DIANE
It was some weird URL. I figured the one
at the Apple site had better bandwidth...
DARIN
You didn't check the link, did you?
DIANE
Uh oh. I figured it was just the same one.
DARIN
No. Evidently not.
There are in fact three trailers now available. The one I had seen was (and was attempting to point y’all toward) was Trailer 3. I had seen it at a site that evidently got a hold of it a little ahead of time (when the release date was still April 29 and not whatever they’ve decided upon now).
So now go watch the trailer.
Even more hoopy trailers can be found here, including the UK trailer, which is similar to, but not entirely the same as, the “here’s what the Hitchhiker’s Guide says about movie trailers” one on the Apple website.
I go to the movie site and look at the trailers there. I’m hoping it’s going to be good. *crosses fingers*
